ITALIAN ALMOND-ORANGE COOKIES
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix egg whites, sugar, orange zest and honey with a whisk until smooth.
- Add the almond flour and baking powder and mix with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until moist and all of the dry ingredients are absorbed into the wet and combined.
- Cover and refrigerate for one hour and as long as 24 hours. I made my dough the night before then baked the next morning.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 325 degrees F with two racks in top two positions.
- Cover two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl.
- Roll the dough on your counter with your hands into a fat log and cut it into two equal pieces.
- Roll each piece out into logs and cut in half then each piece in half again. Then cut each piece into three. This will give you 24 pieces.
- Roll each piece into a ball then roll in the powdered sugar then onto the cookie sheets, 12 per tray.
- Bake both together for 15-17 minutes, rotating the pans half way through.
- The cookies are done when they start to crackle and flatten out and are slightly browned on the bottom. The centers will be very soft so don't go by the feel of the cookie and don't lift off the cookie sheet yet.
- As they cool on the cookie sheet, they stiffen up and have a crisp outside and a chewy center.
- Store at room temperature in an air-tight container.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Place the almonds on a sheet pan and toast them for 5 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned, tossing once to toast evenly. Place 1 cup of the toasted almonds in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and chop them very coarsely. (Reserve the rest for later.) Combine the chopped almonds with the flour and set aside.
- Meanwhile, place the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, orange juice concentrate, orange zest, and vanilla in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Off the heat, gradually whisk in the flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Stir in the reserved toasted almonds.
- With 2 teaspoons (tableware rather than measuring spoons), drop rounded spoonfuls of batter (about 1 1/2 inches wide) onto the prepared sheet pans, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. (I put 8 on each pan.) Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, until the edges are golden brown, turning the pans in the oven to brown evenly. Allow to cool and transfer to a wire rack. Repeat for the remaining batter. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container between layers of wax or parchment paper.

EASY, CRISPY ORANGE COOKIES
I don't like most of the cookies that are made from cake mixes because they are too soft and mushy. I like cookies that are crispier. I came up with this by combining several different recipes. These would also be good with chocolate chips in them or chocolate frosting. Cooking time includes three batches.
